Insights Into Foster Care I S11 oct.42 min

What does it really take to become a foster carer? And what support is available once you do? 👀

In this episode, we dive into the world of foster care with Shashank Sharma, Registered Manager at Attuned to Children Fostering, Syed Hayat from Attuned to Children, Aasia Qayium, Director and Responsible Individual, and Amina Ahmed, a Foster Carer.

They break down the difference between fostering and adoption, what the fostering journey actually looks like, and how Attuned to Children supports both children and foster carers.

From the approval process and how long it takes, to the support services available, financial allowances, and whether foster carers can choose the age range they want to care for, this episode answers the questions many people have before taking the first step.

They also discuss the challenges involved, what the assessment process looks like, and why foster care is about more than providing a home. It is about becoming part of a community that supports children and carers every step of the way.

An honest and insightful conversation for anyone considering becoming a foster carer or simply wanting to understand foster care better.
